Mercamadrid is the main wholesale market of fresh products in Spain. Located in Madrid, it is a public enterprise jointly participated by the Ayuntamiento de Madrid and Mercasa,[1] part of the SEPI.

Located in Villa de Vallecas, next to the M-40, in Southeastern Madrid, it covers an area of 2.22 km2.[1] A dry land fish market, it is one of the biggest fish markets in the world.[n. 1] Serving an area of influence within a 500 km radius, it feeds roughly 12 million people.[4][5] It has more than 9,000 employees operating through more than 800 companies.[6]

It traces its origins back to 1982, when the Central Market of Fish was inaugurated.[5] The Central Market of Fruits and Edible Plants soon followed (1983).[5]
